Hear Melody Owen on The Dr. Theresa Nicassio Show share her chilling childhood abuse story that had a dark twist of the worst kind.

 

THE DEVIL'S DAUGHTER: Transcending Childhood Abuse by Melody Owen on The Dr. Theresa Nicassio Show
“Melody Owen tells a story of difficult times with courage, honesty, humour, and redemption. She breaks your heart and gives you hope for the human race.” – TJ Dawe

THE DEVIL’S DAUGHTER: A True Childhood Abuse Story

If you knew the devil, would you kill him?
What if the devil was your father?

A Chilling Memoir About Surviving Childhood Abuse

A young girl’s journey from mischievous imp to rebellious teenager to the Devil’s daughter.
Farm life is isolating and her father abusive, but the farm animals are great companions for
Melody’s misadventures and heartbreaks.

When the family sells the farm and moves to the city, Melody loses her safety net. Yet, city life
isn’t as bad as she thought. And when her mother walks out on her father, she believes her life
will turn around.

But Melody can’t escape and she succumbs to her world of addiction. She drinks, does drugs,
attempts suicide and drops out of school. Yet, she doesn’t give up. Upon trying to turn her life
around by going back to school, Melody finds out that the abuse ran much deeper than even she
imagined.

Transcending the Shame of Having a Parent Who is a Perpetrator of Childhood Abuse

The Devil’s Daughter is too common a childhood abuse story kept hidden in the family vault. Shared, these
stories can impact others and empower them to own their own stories without shame.

 

“…children of criminal parents are more than twice as likely to exhibit criminal behaviour themselves.”

About Melody Owen

Melody Owen is on a lifelong journey to transform attitudes about health and wellness. Growing up on a farm and spending her youth in gymnastics, she brings a fresh perspective to living well and loving life. Sixteen years ago her mom was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, and Melody has been her caregiver, her advocate, and her guardian. Two years ago, Melody’s daughter suffered a traumatic brain injury, a second concussion in 18 months.  Her recovery taught both of them a great deal about love, self-care and determination. Life is going to happen, embrace it, and “choose happy”. Her book, Fit and Fabulous, takes the reader on a yearlong journey from frustrated to fit and fabulous, where Melody redefines conventional notions about what it means to be “fit” and “fabulous” in mind, body and spirit.

Fit & Fabulous 

Many of us want to lose weight, get fit and stay fit but no matter what we do, we do not lose the weight. We feel like we are on a hamster wheel running endlessly and getting nowhere. Fit and Fabulous is not another diet and exercise book. Instead, it helps you understand your relationship to food and fitness in a fun and engaging manner.  Create a healthy lifestyle that suits you. One you can live with now and in the future. No more deprivation diets and gym workouts that do not work out.

Do You Have A Question Or Topic You’d Like Me To Address?

#BecauseYouAsked…

Ask Dr. Theresa questions about health, psychology, life, food, parenting, wellness and whatever else you need advice on.

The Because You Asked radio show segment was inspired by the plethora of questions friends and followers have been asking me since the YUM Project began. I can’t begin to tell you how moved I have been by the droves of email inquiries, social media messages, phone calls and in-person questions YUM and my speaking engagements have prompted!  With such a demand, it will be terrific to be able to offer my reflections and information to an even broader audience.

If you have any topics or questions that you would like me to address, I’d love to hear from you!
